   I was just pointing out that globally, there is a relatively small   
   number of people posting their keys.

   Maybe true re external risk. But if we are just talking about a   
   signature for a release-date acknowledgement, all "they" have to do is   
   pull my public key to verify that the pgp-signed message with "I agree"   
   was indeed penned by me.   
      
   Some aspects of business-2-business are ripe for pgp.
